smart phone

Hai everybody, i am a new member to forums, so i am intereseted

and want to gain knowledge on this topics..........................thank u
[General Topics] Da_G:
I sincerely doubt the accuracy of this article.

I have talked with several developers of anti virus software for the mobile platform, and the general response is the same:

There has been some "virii" developed in-house as a test case scenario, and hueristics developed to detect this kind of virii.

However in "the real world" you essentially never see this.

The smartphone platform is quite different from a normal PC, the ability for a virus to self-replicate is extremely hindered. Cellular providers do not generally allow incoming, unsolicited connections from the WAN, for example.

I would surmise that such virii are typically extremely targetted - a malicious developer may create a virus specifically to be deployed on a certain handset (such as that of a famous person, or CEO of a large corp)

Given the difficulty with propagation, it is much more likely a successful "infection" would be held close-at-heart by the developer until he stands to make a profit off it by directly targetting a handset or a group of handsets.

There also stands the remote possibility that a ROM Chef could include malware in his ROM, prior to the users deployment to their device.

Again, I feel this is extremely rare, and to say that smartphones are twice as infected as windows PCs is simply sensationalism. I would ask myself if the author is affiliated with some anti-virus company selling software for smartphones... :)

Ever since I did OTA for Froyo, in my app drawer it says i have a twitter Application, but when ever i go to mange applications and try to delete it. It doesnt show up as an app. Now another thing is once in the android Market, i found twitter and it says i dont have it installed but it shows up in my App drawer. Anyone have any problems similar to this? Any fixes? Thanks for the help.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] noiz7:
I believe Google included this app in Android 2.2 just like it includes the amazon music store. I think you have to root to completely remove it from 2.2

Is there an Android app where you can enter all the raw food items you have and it will return a list of recipes you can make using what you have. I think this would be an extremely useful app and I was wondering if it exists. Thanks
[HTC Aria Themes and Apps] yollasho:
Epicurious is a little bit like that. Definitely give it a shot. You can scroll through the top row and select some of the things you have on hand and it will narrow down some recipes.

If I flash a radio and then do a wipe will that remove the radio?

Is this up to date? http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=650121

How can I get the PRL Hybrid to work? I can't call ##778 or ##778# to work.

edit: I'm on Froyo, CM6.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] silverramsrt:
wiping does not remove the radio.

radios only change if the dev includes one in their rom, most do not.

sorry, I don't keep up with that thread enough to know if its up to date.

if ##778 or ##778# doesn't work, you could flash an Eris rom and update to the hybrid prl, then do a nand restore to your favorite rom.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hungry Man:
That's a good idea, thanks a lot. That basically sums up everything except whether or not I should flash that (if it's not up to date I assume I should not)
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MacShannon:
Thats not up to date the latest official eris radio is 2.42.01.04.27 you should be able to find a thread or two about it with a download.

^tells you how

you pretty much just type "mount -o rw,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3", then "chmod 777 /system".
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] t2noob:
I attached a file called sys. push this file to the bin directory and give it permissions then you can just mount the system by typing "sys -rw" to mount read and write and to mount read only you type "sys -ro"

to push the file and give it permissions :

adb push sys /system/xbin
adb shell chmod 775 /system/xbin/sys

I like the script because its easier to remember than the long command.

If you want to edit the script just open it in notepad and change what you like.

I got that script from Bugless Beast By Pete and modified it to display my rom info.

Remove the ".txt" from the script I had to put that to be able to upload it.
[Vibrant General] PolishDude:
I am coming from a iphone 3gs but I am wondering if there is some sort of setting on the vibrant I may be missing. I already read that the buttons do not rotate when taking a picture in portrait mode, that is not my concern, my concern is that they show up fine in gallery, they rotate themselves correctly but when I try to send an mms or an email or upload to facebook, the pictures automatically go into landscape mode so they upload sideways, is there any way to fix this?
[General Questions and Answers] zeoran:
I have an HTC Tilt 2, running WM6.5. I'm using stock rom with Touchflo3d. I know this should be in an HTC forum, but since this applies to just about every HTC model out there and I'm also wondering if there is a normal WM feature I'm not aware of so it applies to WM6.5 only.

I have about 4,500 sms messages (I text alot) and I need to know two things:

1) Is there any way within WM6.5 to tell it to store my txt messages on my sc card rather than the internal memory? The more msgs I have, the more memory it takes, the less memory, the slower the whole thing becomes. I don't care if I need a 3rd party app to do it, I just want to know how or if it's possible.

2) Is there a WM replacement for the HTC sms messenger that's better? is there a non HTC and non WM sms messenger that's better? Mine keeps locking up the phone every time I send a message from one of the user accounts with a large amount of messages in it, forcing me to soft-reset or use a RAM reset tool to get the system to respond again.

I'm willing to upgrade to a new non-stock ROM if it will solve my problems and I'm willing to buy whatever software is necessary to resolve my issues.

Thanks,

~Mark Schamber
[Captivate General] slashmania:
I got my captivate on last thursday for $349 commit free. Great! Anyway, I migrated from a WinMo Tilt 2 that was hacked to DeepShining custom ROM with the latest winmo build. I was using MyPhone service to sync all my contacts online. Now that I have switched to android (and i love it), I need a way to transfer all my contacts from winmo to google. since the phone contacts refuse to sync with outlook on my desktop, i transferred all of them directly to my captivate using BT exchange. now the problem is that the phone contacts wont sync with my gmail contacts. any ideas on how to do that?
[Captivate General] derek4484:
I think the best way to get contacts on to an Android phone is to import them into your gmail contacts list, then tell the phone to sync with your gmail contacts.

I came from an iphone, so I had all my contacts in outlook. You can export all your contacts from outlook to a CSV file. Then go to gmail and import your contacts in to gmail using that same CSV file. Then go to your phone under settings there's a "accounts and sync" menu. You can tell it to sync with google there.

At least thats how I did it. It worked fine, it synced all my contacts within a few seconds.
[Captivate General] fade2black:
Agreed. I came from a Blackberry and just synced all my contacts to my gmail account, did some cleanup (easier to do from my laptop), and then synced it to my new phone. Very easy and quick.
[Captivate General] jayrod88:
Has anyone with Google contacts tried to set up a group? I have a work team that I text sometimes and it would be easy to send a group message vs add them one by one. When I go under groups on the phone I can not add any contacts (probably since they are all Google contacts). I also created the group through my computer but it does not show as a group on my phone. I looked for sync settings but I didn't find anything. Any suggestions???
[Captivate General] slashmania:
The problem is my winmo phone wont sync up with outlook. Any clues as to why this happens?
[Captivate General] Theojt:
I think this is a weakness of the Captivate. I have tried several options and none work perfect.

I ended up using "gsyncit" to do the Outlook to Gmail Contacts/Calendar syncing. When the Gmail Contacts/Calendar entries sync to your phone however (this will happen automatically), they end up in a single Group ("yourname@gmail.com"). So, I use the Android app "Groupy" for contacts and it keeps things sorted on my Captivate. Workable solution but kind of cludgy.
[Captivate General] hayesb2:
Groupy doesnt work right either...

1) Its slow as all get out, so slow it takes 30 seconds to load on my scree, then it pops up a box to "force close" or "wait". After another 20 seconds it finally loads...and this is with the latest update build as of 7/27.

2) When it does finally load, it shows my gmail contact folders, however the "Family" folder has 0, yet I have quite a few in that folder on Gmail contacts.

Bottom line, groupy doesnt work right, but worst of all a basic function to have your android phone sync correctly with your gmail contacts should work out of the box. PERIOD. I dont understand how this problem isnt at the top of everyone's complaints along with GPS and MMS?
[Captivate General] jayrod88:
This is still a big issue for me! Samsung needs to fix this and gps now!
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gregalous:
I'm no expert in audio codecs, so I'm just wondering what people's opinions are of these two file types. According to Wikipedia, they are both lossless codecs, however the .m4a files that I have are anywhere from 1/3 to 1/4 of the size of the same song but in .flac. My phone plays both file types just fine, so I'm wondering if there's a bigger advantage to flac that would justify the much bigger file size?

Right now, when I turn the program on, nothing shows, just the default screen. Is it me or is there some issue with this program right now? Google Maps work right away though.
[Droid X Android Development] Inkog:
FYI, since this is a big reason to need root... I got Bluetooth tethering to work out of the box on Windows 7. Heres to hoping todays(?) patch that contains blutooth "fixes" doesn't break it.
[Droid X Android Development] tmushy:
I thinkyou will get charged for that
[Droid X Android Development] omnicious:
From what I've heard that's not getting charged.
[Droid X Android Development] x.v_:
Using what app?
[Droid X Android Development] omnicious:
Not an app. From what I understand you turn on Bluetooth on your cell phone and laptop and connect them and your computer will think it's linked to an access point.
[Droid X Android Development] evulhotdog:
Like this.
[Droid X Android Development] x.v_:
Oh, I see. That seems like you could be charged. =p
[Droid X Android Development] sp1kez:
Can someone confirm or deny if vzw can tell if you're tethered or they think its just regular phone data usage?
[Droid X Android Development] Izord:
Still works after the update.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kperry1911:
Just place the file on your SD card; boot into recovery (Hold Down Vol & Power); and install the .zip file. Assuming you're rooted w/ a custom recovery... If you need help with this there are threads with details on how to go about rooting your phone and flashingt a ROM.

...and remember always backup before making changes.

Hi

I haven't had time to test this myself and in case some of you know, does the battery drain faster when sharing internet with wifi or with bluetooth?

I am able to tether with both modalities since my laptop now has built-in bluetooth.

[XPERIA X10 General] supercharge1:
Hi, I am about to get my first android phone. my provider is offering me the x10 or the acer liquid e. I have been reading through both forumns and its rediculous how mixed the responses are.

anyone have experience with both and can give me some advise?
[XPERIA X10 General] ClintonH:
Wouldn't even consider it a fair comparison.

Acer has a smaller screen, 3/4 the processor and a 5mp camera. Not in the same class at all.
[XPERIA X10 General] synlar:
If you like how the Acer looks, and don't need the bigger screen or faster processor or better camera on the X10, then why not get the Acer, and you'll save a bit too? Like if you don't need the 'best' and are on a tighter budget, get the Acer. I've played with the Acer, and it runs on Android 2.1; it's a cute nice phone. The main buttons are touch buttons (i actually prefer the hard buttons like on the X10, but the way acer has it, nothing can get stuck between the buttons and it's flat with the screen).
[XPERIA X10 General] synlar:
And you're with Rogers? You can return the phone within 2 weeks (as long as you barely used the data/minutes) but that could give you some days to play around with holding the phone and navigating, and seeing if something about the design rly annoys you.
[XPERIA X10 General] 4mynikka:
Not even a proper comparison..... X10 hands down.

I found this over in the Nexus section. Gameloft is giving away "Let's Golf" for a limited time. Someone over in the Nexus One section uploaded the .apk because in order to get the game you needed to download/install something else. I'm not exactly sure if this is supposed to be free ONLY for Nexus users, so if it is, I guess this thread would be considered "warez" and should be closed.

Here's this .apk...

http://xdaforums.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=361664&d=1279324137

Instructions...

-Install the .apk

-Enter Airplane mode (disables all data)

-Install the game and launch it (Still don't enable data)

-It will tell you to download the game's data, choose yes.

-It will ask you to download with Wifi or 3G, choose Wifi.

Download to phone and save attachment using astro file manager. Changed file extension to .apk. Don't know if its going to work but the icon changed to the picture of the game so I'm guessing it may have worked.

I will see if it work when I connect to a wifi network later on today.
